Abstract

Ancient Roman law is casuistic, not an abstract system of rules. The administration of justice was based on single cases and it is this principle that the authors of this legal history of women in Roman antiquity follow. They do so by presenting and evaluating cases that illuminate the facets of a feminine reality of life while largely ignoring conflict with research debates.
